Robsart is an unincorporated community in Reno Rural Municipality No. 51, Saskatchewan, Canada. The population was 16 at the 2006 Census. It previously held the status of a village until January 1, 2002. The community is located 48 km southwest of the Town of Eastend at the junction of Highway 18 and Highway 13 which is also known as the historic Red Coat Trail approximately 170 km south-east of Medicine Hat, Alberta only 68 km south of the Town of Maple Creek.

Prior to January 1, 2002, Robsart was incorporated as a village, and was dissolved into an unincorporated community under the jurisdiction of the Rural municipality of Reno on that date.

In 1910, Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) purchased a quarter section of land in the southwest region of Saskatchewan and called it Robsart. The land was named after Amy Robsart, from the Sir Walter Scott book, Kenilworth. Three years later the land was bought by a man named Henry Abbott, who led the first settlers to the new community. Shortly after the settlers arrived, many businesses started to go up quickly. Two of the first businesses were a general store and feed mill, soon following them were 30 other businesses, including a dentist, jeweller, and a surgeon.
